Look at the floor line
A floating vanity leaves visible floor beneath it. A freestanding design brings legs or a cabinet base into the room. Compare both against your floor finish and the height of nearby fixtures. Neither style determines whether a bathroom feels modern; the proportions and surrounding details matter too.
Ask how it is supported
A wall-mounted vanity needs suitable support for the selected model. Ask your installer to review the mounting drawing and wall before ordering. Freestanding units also have installation requirements, which may include securing them to the wall. Follow the final product instructions for either style.
Open the drawers on paper
Review where the plumbing sits in relation to the storage. Check door and drawer clearances against nearby fixtures. If storage is your priority, request the internal arrangement rather than estimating capacity from the front photograph. Room Studio can help compare appearances, while your installer confirms the fit.
